👋🏼 Hello! I'm Riffat, a Talent and HR leader in Silicon Valley. My passion and profession revolve around connecting people, ideas, and opportunities. I partner with early-stage CEOs and founders to hire their founding Engineering and GTM teams and create best-in-class onboarding and employee experiences.

I enjoy working on Recruiting and HR initiatives at VC-funded AI start-ups (Seed, Series A-E, IPO). I have had the privilege of being the first recruiter and/or people team hire at several early-stage companies. I help hire the foundational teams that take the company through its next stages of success!
